Trying to make a short map that takes Alter Old at least 10 minutes. That's my idea of success from now on.

You won't be able to save the Bertha, but you'll get one shot out of it. Use it well.

build a conservative network of collectors. once you have the syphon up, build 1 reactor, 2-4 cannons, and 3 lasers. slowly increase your number of reactors, until you are in the green. start moving forwards with cannons, relays, mortars.

It'll take a few tries to get everything started, and don't forget, only build 1 unit at a time until you have enough energy to build 2, it'll build faster. use the bertha one time shot to slow the progress of the creeper

Damn! 10:28. But then again, I am no Alter Old. Nonetheless, quite happy with that.

Glad to have played a very nice map after a long CW3 hiatus. Very challenging to try and save the Bertha although it's not entirely necessary. Didn't realise there was no access to guppies until a bit too late otherwise could've potentially (would've been very risky though) to make the <10min mark.


Gonna have to play your other maps too. Been browsing through the Colonial Space forum and can see you've made a number of great maps. Good stuff!
